My new Hornbow

<< < (8/13) > >>

DC:
That looks sweet :D :D

simk:
yes ED, will probably have to loose almost 1mm of horn to get into my 50# range. enough room for corrections and create a good safety margin. will have to sharpen that scraper again  ;D thanks DC (-S

bownarra:
Good luck :)
She looks purdy already :)
Awaiting the full draw shot!

simk:
Thanks bownarra! I'm taking it slowly now and try to learn some aligning tricks with heat and so on...
What would you suggest for everyday stringing a bow like this? I'm thinking about filing in some stringing grooves on this one but not sure if this makes sense...I think reflex finally set @ 11-13" and the bow will be around 50#. Is this possible with stringing grooves or is the risk of damaging too high, using a stringer? Carrying around that peg all the time seems a little annoying  ;D

This is how I remedied that.
